Description Michal Jaegermann 2011-11-18 19:48:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

After replacing xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14.2-2.20110727git8c9266ed2.fc17 with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14.3-2.fc17 my X server fails to start.  Xorg.0.log just stops in a location when one would expect to see a line "(II) RADEON(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section".

Video hardware is "ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]" on x86_64 mobo.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14.3-2.fc17
(actually anything which was updating 6.14.2-2.20110727git8c9266ed2.fc17)
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.99.1-6.20111109.fc17

How reproducible:
always

Additional info:
This was already failing earlier but on previous update attempts I was getting a strange mixture of updated and non-updated 'xorg-x11-drv*' and 'xorg-x11-server*' packages due to failed dependencies.

Downgrading xorg-x11-drv-ati to 6.14.2-2.20110727git8c9266ed2.fc1,
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.1-2.fc17 and other packages to satisfy dependencies
makes X server to start again.

Updating to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.99.1-7.20111109.fc17 _and_ xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.14.3-2.fc17 makes X to work again.  I guess that the following from a package changelog:

* Mon Nov 21 2011 Adam Jackson <ajax> 1.11.99.1-7
- Restore DRI1 until drivers are properly prepared for it

would provide this secret sauce.
